Solar Power Fuels Economic Revival Renewable energy is central to the state's economic resurgence. A key project is the development of a renewable energy microgrid at a former Ravenswood aluminum plant, led by BHE Renewables. This site, featuring cutting-edge facilities like a titanium melt facility and energy storage systems, demonstrates West Virginia's commitment to sustainable industrial development.

From Coal to Cutting-Edge Renewable Energy West Virginia is welcoming Form Energy's new iron-air battery factory, which will produce long-duration energy storage systems. This transition from coal-based energy to innovative renewable solutions marks a new chapter for the state.

The $700 Million Innovation Corridor The LG NOVA $700 million initiative to create an innovation corridor in West Virginia underlines the state's emerging role in clean technology and sustainable solutions.

Solar Power Testing and Microgrids at WVU The upcoming solar power testing facility at the I-79 Technology Park, affiliated with West Virginia University, is a testament to the state's dedication to renewable energy. This facility will not only test solar technologies but will also serve as a solar-powered microgrid for its tenants.
